Opera 7.23 works offline with BL3.40 and the relevant libraries from glibc 
2.2.5, along with the X libraries from BL3 and icewm.  It does not access 
websites (Network problem).  What other libraries could I try updating 
before I switch to BL2?  Our friend would like something usable by Monday.

Links2 does not do enough javascript at tdwaterhouse site (won't login or 
do searches) but it works fine online, as does lynx-uclibc (2.8.6dev16).

The static lynx I compiled worked offline and not online with libc5, but 
adding glibc made it work online with BL1.

I am using David's later pppd (static), which works with BL3 and BL2 if I 
use ppp_generic and ppp_async modules as well.  I tried both kernel 2.2.26 
and 2.4.31.

Our friend, who finds Windows confusing, is happy with linux and links. 
We made 1-letter scripts (s for startx, h for hangup, dial for eznet up 0 
because 'd' is taken), '. o' for 'cd /opera*; opera'.  I put all his 
favorite sites into hotlist.html.  Is there some quick way to access 
that with links other than typing it in, or backing up to the first site 
with left arrow?  He is not good at aiming the mouse or remembering long 
sequences.  Maybe a symlink to /root/hotlist.html that he can access by 
typing g m (for menu)?
